Hey how is it going? And nice to meet you too. Yes it it was Gary Indiana Fire Dept. My dad knew some of the guys on there so I use to ride on the ambulance when I was 16 and then got on New Chicago Vol Fire Dept when I was 18. Then at 20 I was on Beth Steel Fire Dept for 9 years. I miss driving the big red truck lol. I moved out to cali a year ago to help a friend out with his business but I am going to try to get on a dept out here. Hope you have a great day:)

Hi Brittany...EMT-IV is what we have in Tennessee. There are only EMT-IV (meaning we do IV's and such). and Paramedics.
I am doing a lot better thanks...am trying to get on a local dept. here in Idaho. Will see how things go. My eyesight still sucks bad and will for the rest of my life. 3 Surgeries later and at least I can see out of one eye OK. Better than being totally blind! God has been good. Anyways...thanks for the add and hope you have a great week. Stay safe!!

Hey!
It's about time I became your friend :-) You were the first one on my list of friends that I requested and the last one to except (except for Schwenke, but I just found him this morning). How's it going? We need to do another standby and watch the rest of back draft. Wow, now I need to go look at you page. It changed drastically when I became your friend :-) I AM feeling much better! My sore throat keeps coming and going. It's really wierd... As long as my head doesn't feel like it's going to blow up I'm happy.
Stay Healthy ;-)
See ya on the next call, Ari

You're welcome :-) I knew you would like it. I bought We Were Soldiers off of amazon last night for 2 bucks. As for the friend part, same to you :-) And about the pictures....(drum roll)...... they're great. I love your firefighter pictures especially with the mist/smoke wafting through the trees..... beautiful. Guess what? I have Monday off too! I don't know if you are working or not but district 1 is having Pediatric (I think) CEU's on the 26th at 7:00 PM. See ya on the next call.

Congrats, things are going well, down about 45 lbs now, working on getting off the c-pap rather than having to adjust it, that is the plan that my sleep doc has. We'll see.

Study hard, work hard, and enjoy your time there.

Hey Brittany thought I would check up on your progress. How was the walk of pain???? We need to talk. Picked up some WWII stuff at the Mt. Hope flea market (so cool). Tonight was the Columbia Gas training it was about the same as last year, but they said they could set up a live burn for us sounds cool. Sunday was busy training burn in the morning, high winds over five calls that night. Cut trees off the raod that night, went with Brandon next day cut trees at Dorthy Browns. I want an update. ttyl! stay safe.

How is class going? We had double squad calls on Monday, I was on the second one. I drilled the hols for my pole building yesterday. Today I am going to set the posts(very excited). I want an update.

Ariel 683

Brittany-
You did it again! I was exited to read about your second week. I didn't get a chance to tell you on the squad call today, but you look great! Those 6:30 am PT times are really working :-) Hang in there....
See you later, Ariel

Hey Brittany, I like the quotes you have especially the definition of insanity. That is a good one. I am going to start putting the headers and baseboards on my shop. Tonight is the EMS meeting. I am going to go to that for uniform sizing. I will try to get back to you this week. Take care and I will talk to you later. Brian

Hey sis, I don't think the building will be done but it will be a good way completed by this weekend. I did have a good time at the EMS meeting. They gave us order forms for department shirts. I got a shirt like your EMT sweatshirt that is made out of denim with the 1/4 length zipper in the front. It's going to have my name on it and department also. Glad to hear that you survived day one of search and rescue. I hope to see more quotes on your page. Stay safe ttyl! Brian

Hey! Brittany I am still not done with the building yet(need to put trusses on still). How is week three going? I just changed the oil in my truck today(1000 past when it should have been done oops). Havn't had many calls this week. Last night we had a missing person wanderd off in a corn field. We had K-9 units out from the sherriffs office. Never did find him. Went to the Loudonville Street Fair last night. Listend to a band called Shenondoah( from down south). I am looking forward to seeing you this weekend. We are going to try to go rollerskating tonight. Stay safe down there. TTYL! Brian

Hey Brittany I don't know if anybody answered you questions about the National Registry. You can move to any state except California. All you have to do is talk to your state EMS center and ask them for a form that you need to sign and return it to them and then you are done.

Oct 6, 2008
Brian

Hey! Are you surviving? I called Buckeye Career Center and I am in their 84 hour class. I will start after thanksgiving sometime. I guess I will do my EMT basic next summer. Building still not building its self(oh well). Tilled for the garlic beds and then Mike and I dug the walk paths(wow are they crooked). Will you give me an update? I have to go now. TTYL! Brian

Oct 7, 2008
Ariel 683

Where is week 3? Are you still out there? I keep checking..... :-)
p.s.- I worked with Mel yesterday and she asked how fire school was going.

Oct 8, 2008
Dan

You have to get the documents from the state that you are moving to. California is the only state that doesn't reconize the National Registry, all other 49 states do.

Hey Brittany! Mom and I were going to go to Mt. Hope(to sell stuff). We made it to Millersburg stopped for coffee and the sky was black. We decided to just go home. Finished up the roof by the sunroom. John helped me get the trusses onto my building(still hove to nail them but they are on the beams). Dad and I insulated the old attic this evening. What did you do this week? I heard you have three smily faces in the morning. You have to tell me what is up. I keep praying for you. TTYL! Stay safe.

Oct 15, 2008
Ariel 683

Thanks for the update :-)
I missed you at work today.... I can't believe I am over half way through Intermediate class already. Our last class was cardiology. I made it through drugs and math! It was actually my highest score so far... go figure :-) When we both get done with our classes we need to do another standby. It looks like the soonest time we can do our practical's for National Registry is mid January and we can't take our NR test till afterwards :-( That is going to be the worst part. Class Finals are 11/19.
Well, hope to see you soon... maybe we will have a squad call this weekend.
Stay safe, and don't beat yourself up too much :-) .. Ari

Sorry I missed you at work... we never ended up at the station at the same time :-( Hope everything went ok for you and your partner.

Nov 10, 2008
Ariel 683

Sorry, about not calling you.... I don't know why they called district 1.... I was too busy worring about other stuff. I told them I wanted a medic as quick as possible, and all i know is I got a medic ....If I had known you were home I would have called us first:-( Brian should have said something...
Tell Melanie I said hi..
